WTL

Post by ghostgirl »

What was your worktime learning about this week? Ours was about these compressed concrete driveways which are resined and very slippery, how many of you have slipped on one of these? I know I have and they're lethal!!!

The only time we have an WTL is on those rare occasions when it looks like we could possibly finish early. :evil/mad

WTL stopped in the run-up to the revision last summer and we've had half a dozen sessions since. What happens now is we're given photocopies of the DOM's notes for WTL.
The machine stops.

The trainers are the only things I can wear just now without causing pain, shame they have zero grip! Think I should just start wearing my Adidas Sambas to work!
Magnums are lethal as well. The "curtain twitchers" must think that I am for the scrap heap the way I gingerly tread my way down some drives, steps, paths etc, when it is wet/damp :Very Happy

Oh and wet manhole covers - forget it!

A job outside in all kinds of weather and you might slip whatever next. :roll:
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

Aye thon wooden decking is something else.
